Frequently Asked Questions - U261001BT4 Tripp Lite

How to install BlueSoleil software?

Insert the installation CD and run setup.exe in the BlueSoleil10 folder. If your computer does not have a CD drive, download the file from tripplite.com. Follow the on-screen instructions, then restart the system after installation.

What to do if another Bluetooth software is already installed?

Disable any built-in Bluetooth function and uninstall or disable all third-party Bluetooth applications before installing BlueSoleil. A conflict may prevent proper recognition of the software.

How to pair a Bluetooth device?

Open BlueSoleil, click on the orange ball to search for devices. Once the device is found, double-click its icon to start pairing. If prompted, enter the same password on the device and on the software.

My computer does not detect the adapter, what to do?

Check that the adapter is properly inserted into a working USB port. Ensure BlueSoleil software is installed and the icon appears in the taskbar. Restart the computer if necessary.

What is the maximum range of this adapter?

The wireless range can reach up to 50 meters (165 feet) in open space. Obstacles (walls, furniture) may reduce the range.

How many devices can I connect simultaneously?

You can connect up to 7 Bluetooth devices at the same time, depending on each device's capabilities and system limitations.

Can I use this adapter with Linux or macOS?

The included software (BlueSoleil) is designed for Windows only. However, the adapter may be recognized by generic Bluetooth drivers on Linux or macOS, but with limited functionality. Tripp Lite does not provide support for these systems.

What to do if the software asks for a product key?

This indicates a conflict with pre-existing Bluetooth software. Disable or uninstall that software, then reinstall BlueSoleil from the CD or the Tripp Lite website. The provided version is already activated.

Is the adapter compatible with older Bluetooth devices?

Yes, it is backward compatible with Bluetooth versions 3.0, 2.0, 1.2 and 1.1. You can connect older devices, but performance will be limited by the lowest version.

How to clean the adapter?

Unplug the adapter from USB before cleaning. Use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use chemicals, abrasives, or liquids. Avoid excessive moisture.

Installation and Pairing

Note: It is crucial that preexisting Bluetooth software on the host computer be disabled prior to installing and operating the provided software. Failure to do so may result in reduced functionality or a failure by the computer to recognize the software correctly. If a “Product Key” is requested while operating the software, this is due to a conflict with the provided software and preexisting Bluetooth software.

1. Insert the driver CD and run the "setup.exe" driver file in the BlueSoleil10 folder to start the installation.
   Note: If your computer does not have a CD drive, you can download the driver file at www.tripplite.com/support.
2. Follow all on-screen instructions and prompts displayed by the Install Wizard.
3. When prompted with a "Restart System" message, click Yes.
4. Once your system restarts, insert the Bluetooth adapter into an available USB port on your computer or laptop.
5. A Desktop Icon will appear for the BlueSoleil software. Click on the icon.

Note: If no desktop icon appears, go to the start menu to access the software.

BlueSoleil Can not find any Bluetooth device.

1. To begin the pairing process, double-click on the device icon you want to access. Follow the prompts.

Note: In some cases, you may need to establish a trusted relationship between BlueSoleil and the Bluetooth device by entering the same password on both the software and the device. On BlueSoleil, enter a password in the “Passkey” field when the “Enter Bluetooth Passkey” window displays.

Installation and Pairing
